Web Server Using Amazon EC2

This example deploys a simple AWS EC2 virtual machine running a Python web server.

To deploy your infrastructure, follow the below steps.

After cloning this repo, from this working directory, run these commands:

Create a new stack, which is an isolated deployment target for this example:
```
$ pulumi stack init
```
Set the required configuration variables for this program:
```
$ pulumi config set aws:region us-east-1
```
Stand up the VM, which will also boot up your Python web server on port 80:
```
$ pulumi up
```

After a couple minutes, your VM will be ready, and two stack outputs are printed:

$ pulumi stack output
Current stack outputs (2):
OUTPUT          VALUE
publicIp        53.40.227.82

Thanks to the security group making port 80 accessible to the 0.0.0.0/0 CIDR block, we can curl it:
```
$ curl $(pulumi stack output publicIp)
Hello, World!
```
From there, feel free to experiment. Simply making edits and running pulumi up will incrementally update your VM.

Afterwards, destroy your stack and remove it:

$ pulumi destroy --yes
$ pulumi stack rm --yes
